Ducking Delay with Sequencer/Arpeggiator

November 24, 2024

Matriarch, Moog

This patch is a leftover patch from the upcoming delay Deep Dive Series. But..it’s still a fun little patch….so thought i’d post it.

The ideas is simple…use the Arpeggiator or Sequencer’s Pitch CV to Modulate the Delay Mix, Time and Feedback.
